"why aren't you as concerned about corporations collecting data on you", which presupposes 1. that we AREN'T concerned, 2. Ignores the fact that we have a Fourth Amendment to prevent government from doing so, which doesn't apply to corporations.

and when we answer "Corporations can't put me in prison" they just stare back blankly and proceed to call for crushing "leakers" with massive governmental power.
